depends what you are doing and why you need a pop up… you could use JS to put the content of the pop up in a div like a lightbox styleee then you wouldn’t need the pop up…

If you still need all that – just add some kinda of obvious feature or graphic that says "click here" type of thing… Its user controlled you see, if they have those settings there isn’t anything you can do other than guide them through it.

I am not testing locally but I also get the warning regardless of what is in the pop up window – I am not abandoning the fix for IE but because of the time constraint I need to push on – knowing they Safari & Mozilla work just fine.

Tips

What now? I have some ideas for you.

Go explore CodePen!

As a front end designer and developer, you should have an account on CodePen so you can save your snippets, present your ideas, and engage with the rest other front end folk. I'd encourage you to go PRO as well, to unlock the full power of CodePen.
